Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of metal processing equipment, and in particular to an automated metal sheet binding device and method. Background Art

[0002] Small metal sheets such as clips and gaskets often require electroplating for surface treatment after stamping. Since the metal sheets are difficult to fix, they need to be bound into a ring shape by threading iron wire through the inner hole of the metal sheet before electroplating. This facilitates batch degreasing, pickling, electroplating and other processes. The traditional binding method relies on manual operation. Workers need to manually arrange the metal sheets, thread the iron wire, bend and shape them and bind them tightly. This method is prone to occupational diseases due to repetitive labor, and workers are also at risk of being scratched by the iron wire. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated device that can automatically complete the metal sheet material distribution, threading, cutting, bending and shaping and binding, thereby improving production efficiency and protecting the health of workers. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an automated metal sheet binding ring device, including a worktable, a feeding mechanism, a threading mechanism and a binding ring mechanism disposed on the worktable, and a moving mechanism and a vibrating plate disposed on both sides of the worktable.

[0004] The threading mechanism includes a thread wheel, a roller assembly, a threading tube, a lifting seat, and a cutting seat. The iron wire in the thread wheel extends into the threading tube through the roller assembly. The feeding mechanism threads the metal plates in the vibrating plate onto the iron wire one by one. The threading tube is connected to the lifting seat. Cutting seats for cutting the iron wire are provided on both sides of the lifting seat. The moving mechanism bends the iron wire into a loop and moves it to the binding ring mechanism. The binding ring mechanism binds and shapes the iron wire.

[0005] This invention provides an automated method for binding metal sheets, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1. Prepare metal sheets and iron wire;

[0007] S2, Metal sheets are threaded and stacked;

[0008] S3, clamping the wire;

[0009] S4. Cut the wire;

[0010] S5, wire shaping;

[0011] S6, Wire binding ring forming;

[0012] S7, unloading of metal sheet assembly.

[0013] Using the above technical solution, the device is generally divided into a vibratory feeder and feeding mechanism for conveying metal sheets, a wire threading mechanism for conveying and cutting iron wire, a moving mechanism for shaping the metal sheets into rings, and a binding ring mechanism for locking the iron wire. This achieves full automation of processes such as wire threading and stacking of metal sheets, cutting of iron wire, shaping of iron wire, and forming of iron wire rings. The workload of workers is simplified, and they only need to add materials at the vibratory feeder and wire wheel and pick up materials at the discharge track. Moreover, the workers' operating space is all on one side of the device, which greatly improves convenience and safety. At the same time, it ensures the consistency of the structure after the metal sheets are stacked, providing a stable structural foundation for the subsequent electroplating process.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the feeding mechanism includes an infeed track, a distribution seat, a cam robot, a baffle clamp, and a baffle plate. The vibratory feeder conveys the metal sheets to the distribution seat through the infeed track. The distribution seat conveys the metal sheets one by one to one side of the cam robot. The other side of the cam robot is provided with a baffle clamp for assisting in threading and a baffle plate for stacking materials. The threading tube extends through the baffle plate to the baffle clamp.

[0015] The moving mechanism includes a moving frame, a turning plate, a rotating seat, and a wire clamping robot. The moving frame moves parallel to the worktable. The moving frame is rotatably connected to the turning plate. The turning plate has symmetrically distributed rotating seats for bending the wire into a loop. The rotating seats are connected to a wire clamping robot for clamping the wire.

[0016] The binding ring mechanism includes a locking clamp for clamping both ends of the wire, a binding ring motor for binding the wire, and a discharge track for discharging the wire.

[0017] The invention is further configured such that one end of the feeding track is provided with a transfer seat and a pressure plate, the transfer seat and the pressure plate are combined to form a slide groove for accommodating metal sheets, a first slide cylinder is provided between the material distribution seat and the worktable, the material distribution seat moves reciprocally laterally relative to the transfer seat through the first slide cylinder, the material distribution seat is provided with a transfer groove corresponding to the slide groove, and receiving grooves are provided on both sides of the transfer groove, the cam robot arm clamps the metal sheet through the receiving grooves.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the transfer groove is the same length as the metal sheet, and the limiting of the pressure plate ensures that only a single metal sheet passes through the chute, avoiding the stacking of metal sheets, realizing the transfer of metal sheets one by one, avoiding the phenomenon of material jamming, and providing reliable material supply guarantee.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that a linear slide rail, a transmission cylinder and a stop are provided between the lifting seat and the worktable, the lifting seat is slidably connected to the worktable through the linear slide rail, and one end of the lifting seat is connected to a transmission cylinder for controlling the movement of the conduit. A stop for limiting the movement is provided at the bottom of the linear slide rail.

[0020] Using the above technical solution, the threading tube is a hollow tubular structure used to assist in threading. During the movement of the threading tube, the wire is always placed inside the threading tube. When the wire slowly moves to the cam robot, the threading tube is quickly moved to the cam robot via a transmission cylinder. At this time, the metal sheets are preferentially stacked through the threading tube, thereby shortening the time of the metal sheet stacking process. In addition, the wire is straightened by the limiting function of the threading tube during the upward movement of the wire.

[0021] The present invention is further configured such that the material stop clamp includes a second slide cylinder, a parallel cylinder and a clamping jaw, the parallel cylinder is connected to one side of the wire guide tube through the second slide cylinder, the output end of the parallel cylinder is connected to a clamping jaw for clamping the wire guide tube, the two sets of clamping jaws form an upper plane for laying the metal sheet flat, and the material stop plate is provided with an opening groove for avoiding the wire guide tube.

[0022] Using the above technical solution, when the cam robot moves the metal sheet above the wire guide tube, it will fall onto the upper surface of the gripper first, which will act as a buffer to prevent the metal sheet from falling directly onto the baffle and deforming. When the moving mechanism clamps the wire away from the worktable, the baffle clamp moves away from the wire guide tube through the second slide cylinder, and the wire leaves the baffle through the opening slot, avoiding interference. The overall structure design is reasonable.

[0023] The present invention is further configured such that the roller assembly includes a driving roller, a driven roller, a mounting plate, a side plate, and a wire feeding motor. The driving roller is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting plate, and the other side of the mounting plate is provided with a wire feeding motor for controlling the rotation of the driving roller. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to a side plate that is perpendicular / parallel to it, and the side plate is rotatably connected to a staggered driven roller.

[0024] Using the above technical solution, each set of side plates is provided with four staggered driven wheels to form a driven wheel group, which increases the friction between the wire and the driven wheels and avoids slippage. Below the driving wheel, there are two sets of driven wheel groups that are perpendicular to each other, thereby restricting the radial degree of freedom of the wire and achieving high-precision and stable feeding of the wire.

[0025] The invention is further configured such that a rotary encoder is coaxially connected to the reel, and a photoelectric sensor for detecting the presence of a wire is provided on one side of the mounting plate.

[0026] Using the above technical solution, the amount of wire movement is measured by a rotary encoder to ensure that the wire can move to the designated height each time, and a photoelectric sensor is used to detect whether the wire is broken, so that the staff can replace the wire reel in time.

[0027] The invention is further configured such that the bottom of the movable frame is provided with a lead screw module and a third slide cylinder, the movable frame moves laterally relative to the worktable via the lead screw module, and the movable frame moves longitudinally relative to the worktable via the third slide cylinder, a steering motor is provided above the movable frame, the steering motor controls the rotation of the steering plate relative to the movable frame, the steering plate is provided with a semi-circular slide rail, a fourth slide cylinder and a pull rod, the semi-circular slide rail is slidably connected to symmetrically distributed rotating seats, the fourth slide cylinder is located on the axis of symmetry of the semi-circular slide rail, and controls the synchronous movement of the two sets of rotating seats via the pull rod.

[0028] Using the above technical solution, the tie rod is rotatably connected to the rotary seat and the fourth slide cylinder through a universal joint. When the fourth slide cylinder works, it controls the tie rods on both sides to move synchronously, thereby controlling the steering plate to separate or move closer along the semi-circular slide rail, which meets the requirements of the wire clamping robot for picking up materials and binding rings.

[0029] The present invention is further configured such that the wire clamping robot includes an actuator, a rotary joint, a pneumatic clamp, a main clamp, and a secondary clamp. The actuator is rotatably connected to the pneumatic clamp via the rotary joint. The output end of the pneumatic clamp is fixedly connected to the main clamp and the secondary clamp, and the main clamp and the secondary clamp are combined to form a clamping groove for fixing the wire. The two sets of the wire clamping robot are respectively located above the material stop fixture and between the material stop plate and the cutting seat.

[0030] Using the above technical solution, the actuator controls the coordinated action of the rotary joint and the pneumatic chuck, wherein the pneumatic chuck is used to clamp the wire, and the rotary joint is used to adjust the rotation angle of the pneumatic chuck, thereby indirectly adjusting the orientation of the clamping groove.

[0031] The present invention is further configured such that the workbench is provided with two or more feeding mechanisms on both sides of the binding ring mechanism.

[0032] Using the above technical solution, since the metal sheet threading and stacking process is time-consuming and the working cycle of the binding ring mechanism is short, multiple sets of feeding mechanisms, threading mechanisms and vibratory feeders are used to work together. For example, after the A group of feeding mechanisms has finished stacking, the moving mechanism transfers the metal sheet group of the A group of feeding mechanisms to the binding ring mechanism. During this period, the B group of feeding mechanisms is stacking normally. By utilizing the time difference generated by the successive stacking of the two groups of feeding mechanisms, the idle time of the moving mechanism and the binding ring mechanism is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.

The vibrating plate 5 conveys the metal sheets to the distributing seat 12 through the feeding track 11. The distributing seat 12 conveys the metal sheets one by one to one side of the cam robot 13. The other side of the cam robot 13 is provided with a material stop clamp 14 for assisting in threading and a material stop plate 15 for stacking materials.

[0048] The wire threading mechanism 2 includes a wire wheel 21, a roller assembly 22, a wire threading tube 23, a lifting seat 24, and a cutting seat 25. The wire in the wire wheel 21 extends through the roller assembly 22 into the wire threading tube 23. The wire threading tube 23 passes through the baffle plate 15 and extends to the baffle clamp 14. The wire threading tube 23 is connected to the lifting seat 24. Cutting seats 25 for cutting the wire are provided on both sides of the lifting seat 24.

[0049] The moving mechanism 4 includes a moving frame 41, a turning plate 42, a rotating seat 43, and a wire clamping robot 44. The moving frame 41 moves parallel to the worktable 6. The moving frame 41 is rotatably connected to the turning plate 42. The turning plate 42 is symmetrically distributed with rotating seats 43 for bending the wire into a ring. The rotating seat 43 is connected to the wire clamping robot 44 for clamping the wire.

[0050] The binding ring mechanism 3 includes a locking clamp 31 for clamping both ends of the wire, a binding ring motor 32 for binding the wire, and a discharge track 33 for discharging the wire.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the feeding track 11 is provided with a transition seat 111 and a pressure plate 112. The transition seat 111 and the pressure plate 112 are combined to form a slide groove 113 for accommodating metal sheets. A first slide cylinder 16 is provided between the material distribution seat 12 and the worktable 6. The material distribution seat 12 moves laterally relative to the transition seat 111 through the first slide cylinder 16. The material distribution seat 12 is provided with a transition groove 121 corresponding to the slide groove 113. Accommodation grooves 122 are provided on both sides of the transition groove 121. The cam robot 13 clamps the metal sheet through the accommodation grooves 122. A linear slide rail 26, a transmission cylinder 27 and a stop 28 are provided between the lifting seat 24 and the worktable 6. The lifting seat 24 is slidably connected to the worktable 6 through the linear slide rail 26. One end of the lifting seat 24 is connected to a transmission cylinder 27 for controlling the movement of the wire threading tube 23. A stop 28 for limiting the movement is provided at the bottom of the linear slide rail 26. The wire threading tube 23 is a hollow tubular structure.

[0052] Combination Figure 4 , 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the material stop clamp 14 includes a second slide cylinder 141, a parallel cylinder 142, and a gripper 143. The parallel cylinder 142 is connected to one side of the wire-passing tube 23 through the second slide cylinder 141. The output end of the parallel cylinder 142 is connected to a gripper 143 for clamping the wire-passing tube 23. The two sets of grippers 143 form an upper surface 144 for laying the metal sheet flat. The material stop plate 15 is provided with an opening groove 151 for avoiding the wire-passing tube 23. When the cam robot 13 moves the metal sheet above the wire-passing tube 23, it will fall preferentially onto the upper surface 144 of the gripper 143, which plays a buffering role and prevents the metal sheet from falling directly onto the material stop plate 15 and deforming. When the moving mechanism 4 clamps the wire away from the worktable 6, the material stop clamp 14 moves away from the wire-passing tube 23 through the second slide cylinder 141, and the wire leaves the material stop plate 15 through the opening groove 151.

The drive roller 221 is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting plate 223, and the other side of the mounting plate 223 is provided with a wire feeding motor 225 for controlling the rotation of the drive roller 221. The mounting plate 223 is fixedly connected with two sets of side plates 224 that are distributed perpendicularly and parallel to it. The wire roller 21 is coaxially connected to a rotary encoder 226. One side of the mounting plate 223 is provided with a photoelectric sensor 227 for detecting the presence of iron wire. The rotary encoder 226 measures the amount of movement of the iron wire to ensure that the iron wire can move to the specified height each time. The photoelectric sensor 227 is used to detect whether the wire is broken, so that the staff can replace the wire roller 21 in time.

[0054] Combination Figure 3 , 7 As shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, the bottom of the movable frame 41 is provided with a lead screw module 45 and a third slide cylinder 46. The movable frame 41 moves laterally relative to the worktable 6 via the lead screw module 45 and longitudinally relative to the worktable 6 via the third slide cylinder 46. A steering motor 47 is provided above the movable frame 41, which controls the rotation of the steering plate 42 relative to the movable frame 41. The steering plate 42 is provided with a semi-circular slide rail 48, a fourth slide cylinder 49, and a pull rod 50. The semi-circular slide rail 48 is slidably connected to symmetrically distributed rotating seats 43. The fourth slide cylinder 49 is located on the axis of symmetry of the semi-circular slide rail 48 and controls the synchronous movement of the two sets of rotating seats 43 via the pull rod 50. The pull rod 50 is rotatably connected to the rotating seats 43 and the fourth slide cylinder 49 via a universal joint. When the fourth slide cylinder 49 works, it controls the pull rods 50 on both sides to move synchronously, thereby... The control steering plate 42 separates or moves closer along the semi-circular slide rail 48. The wire clamping robot 44 includes an actuator 441, a rotary joint 442, a pneumatic chuck 443, a main chuck 444, and a secondary chuck 445. The actuator 441 is rotatably connected to the pneumatic chuck 443 through the rotary joint 442. The output end of the pneumatic chuck 443 is fixedly connected to the main chuck 444 and the secondary chuck 445 respectively. The main chuck 444 and the secondary chuck 445 are combined to form a clamping groove 446 for fixing the wire. The two sets of wire clamping robots 44 are located above the stop clamp 14 and between the stop plate 15 and the cutting seat 25 respectively. The actuator 441 controls the coordinated action of the rotary joint 442 and the pneumatic chuck 443 respectively. The pneumatic chuck 443 is used to clamp the wire, and the rotary joint 442 is used to adjust the rotation angle of the pneumatic chuck 443, thereby indirectly adjusting the orientation of the clamping groove 446.

[0055] Combination Figure 9-11 As shown, the present invention provides an automated method for binding metal sheets, comprising the following steps:

[0056] S1. Prepare metal sheets and wires: The metal sheets are conveyed to the material distribution seat 12 through the vibrating plate 5. The material distribution seat 12 moves the metal sheets one by one to the picking end of the cam robot arm 13. The wires in the wire wheel 21 are conveyed to the wire threading tube 23 through the roller group 22. One end of the wire threading tube 23 passes through the baffle plate 15 and moves to the baffle clamp 14.

[0057] S2, Metal sheet threading and stacking: The cam robot 13 places the metal sheets one by one on the top of the stop clamp 14. The stop clamp 14 performs a cyclic opening and closing action. The threading tube 23 passes through the inner hole of the metal sheet, so that the metal sheets are stacked one by one on the top of the stop plate 15 along the threading tube 23.

[0058] S3. Clamping the wire: After the metal sheets are stacked and threaded, the feeding mechanism 1 stops working, and the cam robot 13 and the stop clamp 14 move away from the threading tube 23. The moving frame 41 moves close to the worktable 6 and controls the wire clamping robot 44 to move to the upper and lower ends of the threading tube 23. The upper wire clamping robot 44 clamps the wire, and the threading tube 23 moves downward through the lifting seat 24 and gets out of the gripping range of the wire clamping robot 44. The lower wire clamping robot 44 clamps the wire.

[0059] S4. Cutting the wire: The cutting seats 25 located on both sides of the wire move towards each other and then reset, so that the wire is cut. The distance between the two sets of wire clamping manipulators 44 is less than the length of the wire threading tube 23. During the movement of the wire threading tube 23, the wire is always inside the wire threading tube 23.

[0060] S5, Wire shaping: The moving seat moves away from the worktable 6 and the wire clamping robot 44 takes out the wire with metal sheet. The feeding mechanism 1 switches to state S1. The rotating plate 42 rotates so that the wire is parallel to the ground. The rotating seat 43 is controlled to move towards each other. The two sets of wire clamping robots 44 approach each other and make the two ends of the wire cross.

[0061] S6. Iron wire binding ring forming: The moving frame 41 approaches the binding ring mechanism 3 and places both ends of the iron wire at the locking clamp 31. The locking clamp 31 clamps both ends of the iron wire. The binding ring motor 32 rotates the connection of the two ends of the iron wire into a twist shape and forms a metal sheet group.

[0062] S7. Metal sheet unloading: The wire clamping robot 44 releases the wire, the moving frame 41 moves away from the binding ring mechanism 3 and resets and jumps to S3. The locking clamp 31 releases the wire, and the metal sheet naturally falls onto the discharge track 33 and slides into the material box.

[0063] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
